They'll have to come up with more than a puny 25,000 names in a national petition to lift restrictions on AR15s in today's public consciousness, James.
Hell, I led a provincial campaign in a province of less than a million to stop casinos, including 50,000-name petition (and support of every Baptist congregation) and I might as well have been spitting in the wind.
For all the RCMP problems, I'd put more trust in it than any political party, even if it is commissioned to enforce and not make the laws. Don't see appreciable public blowback there.
You are quite right King. 25,000 names isn't nearly sufficient. But what do you expect when public opinion of what constitutes an assault weapon, what an AR actually is, has been so shaped by massive public misinformation from media who either didn't give a shit about accuracy or purposely mislead the public to further their own agenda.
It's kinda like the RCMP and other forces displaying the "haul" of illegal "sniper" rifles when they bust someone for having hunting rifles but no PAL.
It's called disinformation and the left, as well as totalitarian forces of any ilk, have it down to a science.
